Shia Labeouf arrested for disorderly conduct 01:24

Shia LaBeouf's arrest Thursday night after disrupting a performance of "Cabaret" on Broadway has gotten plenty of people talking -- including a few celebrities.

Alan Cumming, who plays the emcee in the musical revival, addressed the incident on Twitter, while others like Lena Dunham, Zach Braff and Billy Eichner poked fun at the "Transformers" actor's antics.

LaBeouf, 28, allegedly was being disorderly, yelling obscenities and reportedly slapping people and smoking during the live performance at New York's Studio 54. He was removed from the theater at intermission, and faces charges that include disorderly conduct and criminal trespass. He is due back in court July 24.

I feel you Shia: In 1993 I was carried out of Les Mis screaming because I couldn't handle the intimations of death.

Seriously feel awful for the performers and am sorry to contribute to celebrity takedown culture but this is the best current event we have!

If you're coming to @BulletsOverBway tonight, spitting and cursing is fine, but please don't grab anyone's ass. #Decepticons

Maybe Cabaret Act 2 was just gonna be too dark for Shia and he was trying to cover. I mean it does get real heavy.
